It is a simple poem composed by W.H.Auden . In this peom the poet describe the journey of a coach in an interesting way. The night mail travels the whole night to bring mail; containing letters, postal, orders and cheques for the people living in different parts of the country.

The journey is not always the same sometimes the coach has to climb upwards and sometimes it crosses the plain but it reaches its destination always on time . During the journey the coach passes through grass lands, cotton fields and moorland areas etc.

The poet mentains about attitude of birds, as it approaches, the birds become active and stare at it through buses. The sheep dogs are not at all disturbed by the noise of the train as they are last in their slumber. The poet minutely describes all the details that happen. When night mail passes through the farm, the people without being disturbed continue to sleep. Only a jug placed in the bedroom shakes gently due to the vibration caused by the train.

In an electronic book, it is allowed to make various notes in the text, but if you do this in a printed edition, you can damage it, since even after a pencil, a trace will remain on the paper. In an e-book, it is easy to remove all marks, if necessary, and this will in no way affect the quality of the novel being read. Using the gadget, it is easy to adjust the quality of the text by choosing the required font size and the way the text is displayed. But if you take an inexpensive book printed on cheap yellow paper, then nothing can be changed here.
